, PROGRAM DESCRIPTION State' vide Surveillance:
The State Program was established in 1956 as a result of nuclear weapons test-The present program is a continuation and extension of that program and
-ing.
ionsists of:
Monthly analysis of milk samples collected from representative 1.
processing plants throughout the state.
Analysis of precipitation collected at the State Department of 2.
' Health.
Participation in the Environmental Protection Agency's Radiation 3
Alert Network air sampling program.
h.
Analysis of all public vater supplies.
The Statewide Surveillance Program is reflected in Table 1.

. Health's sampling activities in the ANO environs appear in Tabic h, ANO Environmental Radiation Surveillance Program (Pre-Operational). ' fable 5 identifies the established sample locations.
~
Tables 6 and 7 summarize the analytical results of the envirc,.anent samples collected at M10 during 1969 and 1970(1).
After the ANO facility starts,com-mercial operation it is anticipated that the ANO Environmental Radiation Sur-veillance Program vill be modified as shown in Tabic 8.
Location of sample sites vill remain as listed in Table 5 The Arkansas State Department of Health and the Arkansas Power and Light Company have entered into an agreement whereby the Department vill assist APLL in the M10 Environmental Monitoring Pogram and vill perform services in the following areas:
1.
Training 2.
Sampling and Testing 3.
Analyses h.
Consultation and Representation This agreement vill extend through the operational phase of the ANO project.
